Chapter 121 - RIVER (1/2)
For some odd reason, Blue felt they were being surrounded not escorted. She looked around her and didn't like the idea that Anthony's pack members were outnumbered by the pack member of Alpha Xerxes.
This shadow moon pack was larger than the silver river pack, even before they lost their pack members tremendulously. They had a lot of members here that covered a large land in the east.
They walked together to the pack house and Blue could see how big it was… it was almost like the McKeltar manor, but this one was way too modern compared to that old- fashion building.
Blue missed that place. She missed her own bedroom and her school, her friends, Nikolai especially and she scared to the possibility that she would never see them again.
Why didn't they stay a little bit longer and said something before they go? Even until now, Blue couldn't understand that…
They could at least say goodbye to her, right?
”Welcome to our pack house,” Alpha Xerxes said cheerfully. He opened his arms widely to show this beautiful place and led them to the main hall of this pack house, where there was three rows of long table that filled with various foods for them to savor.
Blue could hear the pack member of the silver river pack mumbling in gratitude, they thanked Alpha Xerxes and Anthony slightly nodded to him for his generosity.
”Come here, sit next to me,” Alpha Xerxes put his hand on Alpha Anthony's shoulder and guided him toward the head of the table, where the place of the Alpha. ”You too, little girl,” he said to Blue.
Blue clutched her uncle's hand tightly, as she said nothing and followed them.
Alpha Xerxes sat on his seat on the second row, while Alpha Anthony was sitting on his right side and Blue was on his other side.
The other Beta and Gamma were sitting on different row.
”How was your journey?” Alpha Anthony started the conversation as they begun to eat.
”It's a long journey here, but I am glad that you received us well.” Of course that was only a sweet talk only, since it was impossible for Anthony to bring all of his pack members without intense discussion between their two and the other upper rank in their pack.
”I am glad all of you are here now.” That was only pleasantry talking, because even Alpha Anthony could feel Alpha Xerxes' interest on Blue. The white wolf.
She was one of some reasons that made Xerxes agreed for their pack to join force together. He wanted to see the white wolf. The rare white wolf that was on their myth. Anthony himself didn't believe that.
”How old are you Zuri?” Alpha Xerxes put his attention on the silence little girl, who was sitting next to Alpha Anthony. She dove her nose very low to her bowl, so to not attract any attention on her, but it was hard to do when her white hair very stood out.
”I am nine,” she said in small voice, her hoodie slid down from her head, so it put her white hair in fully exposed.
”You are very young, Blue, but you have faced many difficulties,” Alpha Xerxes said wisely, as if he was trying to play the role of father for Blue, but Anthony let him to do whatever he wanted, as he continued to eat his dinner in silence, while Xerxes more interested to ask his niece a few question instead of eating his food before his eyes. ”You must be scared.”
”I met many people that helped me a lot to go through it.”
